West Ham United have been linked with a move for Chelsea and England striker Tammy Abraham.
West Ham striker target blasted for sulking to force transfer
Hammers website WestHamFans.org claims sources have told them West Ham boss David Moyes wants the forward.
Indeed the report claims Moyes has been offered the chance to sign Chelsea striker Abraham on loan.
West Ham short up front ahead of new season
West Ham are desperately short of options and quality in several key areas ahead of the new season.
Up front the Hammers have only Sebastien Haller and the injury-prone Michail Antonio – who strictly speaking is not even a recognised striker – after selling Albian Ajeti and Jordan Hugill.
When West Ham fans want answers they often turn to reliable insider ExWHUemployee.
And the Hammers source took to Twitter to shoot down the Abraham reports at the weekend.
Insider delivers emphatic two-word verdict on claims
“Not true,” ExWHUemployee said emphatically on Twitter in response to claims Moyes wants Abraham.
Where that leaves West Ham and Moyes remains to be seen.
West Ham have already missed out on playmaker Eberechi Eze, who was said to have been Moyes’s prime target (Evening Standard).
Fulham and Aston Villa are also said to be circling West Ham’s other reported striker targets Callum Wilson and Ollie Watkins (Sky Sports & Birmingham Live).
Clock is ticking for Moyes
The clock is ticking as Moyes continues to search for more firepower in attack.
West Ham kick off the new season in less than two weeks, at home to Newcastle. And the transfer window closes in just over a month.
Abraham would tick a lot of boxes for Moyes, who wants to build a young, hungry team at West Ham.
The 22-year-old was in great form for Chelsea last season, with 15 goals in 34 Premier League games to his name.
West Ham fans should not get their hopes up, though, if Ex’s verdict is anything to go by.
